24-hour debit card payment systems Alfreton
Taking payments over the telephone
Does your business take credit or debit card payments over the telephone from customers, or would you like your Alfreton-based business to be able to do so?
Current practice for many businesses taking credit card payments over the telephone is to ask the customer to read out their card details.
Higher standards of security
PCI DSS is being tightened up, meaning it will no longer be possible to take card payments over the telephone from cardholders who read out their card details, however you process the payment, whether using a card machine or payment web site.
With the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) on , all personal data, including credit and debit card data, must be handled securely.
How this affects your business
This restriction creates a problem for small businesses needing to take card payments by telephone but without the resources to invest in a full-scale secure telephone-based credit and debit card payment system. It also creates an opportunity for you to get ahead of your competitors and introduce a secure automated payment system ahead of the rule changes.
As well as enabling you to take credit and debit card payments at your business premises, this is the ideal solution for taking credit and debit card payments at exhibitions.
Card payment systems for small businesses
The card payment system we offer is telephone-based and specially created for small and medium-sized businesses. It can be bespoke to your business at a very reasonable cost. It includes customised voice prompts, taking your customers step by step through making their payment.
The payment system is fully automated, taking payments from your customers all day and night every day of the year without anyone ever having to read out their card details, which gives vastly-increased security over manual payment methods and at the same time allowing to take payments even while your business is closed. It is ideal for use both at your place of business and at exhibitions.
As the payment system is fully compliant with PCI DSS level 1 security standards, you not only get the ability to take credit and debit card payments all day every day; you also get an effortless way to comply with the new security standards. It comes with a full reporting package and can work with your existing merchant accounts.
